Other Opportunities

Below are some examples of on-campus programs or organizations that may travel off-campus/internationally as part of their organizational activities. While these organizations arrange and lead their own programs, the Office of International & Off-Campus Education provides health/safety support to the programs. Students interested in these opportunities should be in touch directly with the program or organization.

Student organizations connected with the Center for Community Engagement work to create positive change through civic engagement, typically during fall or spring break. Working with various partners both on and off campus, students plan and implement domestic and international service trips over interim and spring break. ASB projects have been conducted in Honduras, the Dominican Republic, New York City, Baltimore, Appalachia, the Gulf Coast and Clearwater, Fla. For more information, please see the ASB website.

Engineers Without Borders is a multidisciplinary group of Lafayette students working on sustainable and practical engineering solutions to meet the needs of developing communities in the world. In previous years, the chapter has committed itself to establishing long-term relationships with communities, associations, and organizations in the Yoro District of Honduras. For more information, please see the EWB website.
